He didn’t actually hire her. Sharona happened to be passing through when the bandits were raiding his farm(for the umpteenth time) and ran them off.
He could stand to have a little better security… and a little more gratitude.

The cover and the father’s behaviour, I’m wondering what kind of story this’ll be. A great idea to keep him an off-screen character at the start, as it both serves a story purpose and allows for the wonderful threesome.

The father will be appearing on the next page along with the first hints of where the story is really going.
I suppose I could have gotten down to business faster, but I had to fit the threesome in there somewhere.
A man has to have priorities! 😀

Sharona feels sorry for Lenora, really. In her mind, a woman Lenora’s age(she’s 19) should have a chance to meet a young man and fall in love and live happily ever after, not be married off to a man old enough to be her father just because he has money.

Sharona may not be ready to settle down, but she’s still a romantic at heart.

Actually, Sharona still has dreams like that for herself. They are pushed back into a corner of her mind, behind her carefree lifestyle and her love of fighting, drinking and casual sex, but they’re still there.

I have toyed with some story ideas dealing with an older Sharona and her offspring, although I haven’t decided whether I want to make them into comics or not.

What I basically had in mind was this:

After years of adventuring, Sharona gets involved with a dashing adventurer/rogue/thief(I don’t have a name for him yet, although I have definite ideas about the character). Although neither of them has been terribly responsible about money, they wind up inheriting an estate from a grateful landowner that they had helped in the past, who died without an heir. At this point, they are both ready to give up their lives of adventure and settle down. Eventually, Sharona gives birth to their only child, their daughter Bindy.

The stories would feature the adventures of 19 year old Bindy, who has inherited her mother’s pink hair, sword skills and sex drive(but not necessarily her street smarts) with Sharona acting as a supporting character.

If the father really loves Lenora the daughter then he should change his attitude about Sharona. Sure his over sexed sons act like Rico or the midnight cowboy but their is plenty of time to correct it. Right now his daughter been kidnapped by the tap dancing bandits one of them named Chester. Of course he could hire some one who would not have over looked bandit attacks because she was horny.
